>>128039345the difference is that both Conan and Sherlock holmes and a ton of other characters which are dead - which conan isn't, since he WAS NEVER A REAL PERSON YOU FUCKING TROGLODYTE - is that they are written with character and personality. Gwen HAD something of a personality when she was boycrazy. It was a shitty one, admittedly, but it morphed into her pining about peter in every scene he wasn't in the same panel as her, being romantic with peter when they were, or misunderstanding shit because "Oooooh, The Drama!!!!"
She has Retroactively gotten slightly more added over time, but either it becomes retconned, downplayed or simply forgotten when another writer takes the wheels to steer shit into the way they want her to be. She exists only to die and to give peter guilt, that's literally it.
